Eli and the Uncles

£7.99

Say hello and good night to Uncle Hanif, Uncle Rashin, Uncle Nooru – and five more uncles, along with their spectacular beards! Young Eli gets to spend a whole day with his eight adoring uncles – each one bigger and taller than the last, and each with an outsized personality to match, from Aman the dancer to Riz the joke teller. Even better, every one of the uncles sports his own unique set of whiskers! Short or long, curly or straight, bristly or soft, whatever the style or texture, every especially elegant beard is a sight to behold (and a sleepy-time aid for Eli as he says his good-nights one by one). With delightful warmth and whimsy, author Jehan Madhani and award-winning illustrator Rashin Kheiriyeh present a hilarious, hirsute countdown to bedtime that will have young readers and listeners dreaming of woolly beards instead of woolly sheep.

Description

Celebrate the generous love of extended families – and beards of all shapes and sizes! – in this playful and funny love letter to uncles and positive male role models.

“The book’s unmistakable message about the many things that men (and boys) can and should be proud of being: playful, pretty, and powerful, all at once.” Booklist (starred review)

This highly original picture book for bedtime celebrates those less-immediate family members who kids may not live with, but who always show up and give their time, energy and love.

Young Eli gets to spend a whole day with his eight adoring uncles – each with a different personality and unique, enviable beard! With lively text from an Emmy-nominated TV writer and bright, imaginative pictures from an award-winning illustrator, join Eli as he says his goodnights one by one after a busy day of treasured time together.

“A fun book to share with little ones. The illustrations and positive male role models are especially commendable.” Inclusive Books for Children
